Hey everyone. This is a great tip which I received this notice from FAASafety.gov. They send out good information along with notices about upcoming events. I suggest you go to FAASafety.gov and sign up. (It’s free, of course…)

This notice is great for experienced pilots, flight students, CFI’s flight schools and, well, everyone who flies. Hope you enjoy – Happy Flying!

Runway Safety Tip
Notice Number: NOTC1653

Here’s a “heads-up” when using an airport with runways 2/20 or 13/31.  Each of these runway designators make it easy to transpose the numbers for the runway and land or depart from the wrong end.

Your heading indicator can be a big help when landing or departing from an airport with multiple runways that are oriented in different directions.  While on final approach, or when you taxi into position on the departure runway, check your heading to be sure it matches the alignment of the proper  runway.  This can also help confirm you’re looking at the correct airport when landing.

More information about Runway Safety can be found at http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/airports/runway_safety/. You can call or email Runway Safety suggestions or comments to Michael Lenz at michael.lenz@faa.gov or 202-267-7949.
